Transition Scilly is a local, community-driven group that aims to help people on Scilly reduce their carbon footprint as a response to the threat of Climate Change, and increase the whole community's resilience as a response to the threat of Peak Oil.. The Transition movement started in Totnes in 2006 and has grown to hundreds of places (villages, towns and cities) across the UK and around the World. It is a movement based on positive change, not traditional campaigning. Transition is based on solutions to problems as a way of looking to a positive future. Peak Oil and Climate Change are both huge threats to human society, in very different ways. Peak Oil forces us to alter our lifestyle of heavy reliance on fossil fuels, and Climate Change is altering the environmental conditions of the entire planet. If both issues are considered separately we won't come up with positive solutions for both problems; if considered together there's a chance we can turn this situation around. This is the difference with Transition.

"Transition Voice is the new online magazine for the Transition movement, a cultural wave of hundreds of thousands of people across the globe who are responding to peak oil and declining fossil fuels by helping their communities and families to prepare for a future where economies and culture will likely look very different than they do today.

Engaging the community in designing a vibrant low energy future for Falmouth and the surrounding area to face the twin challenges posed by Peak Oil and Climate Change.

Help us put Falmouth on the map as a community that engages its collective creativity and genius in building an abundant future.
